Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of CNC drilling technology, for example to a CNC drilling machine suitable for high-hardness materials. Background Technology

[0002] The descriptions in this section are provided only as background information relating to this disclosure and do not constitute prior art.

[0003] With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, two trends have emerged in the field of metal cutting hole machining equipment. Firstly, rising labor costs and the high labor intensity, low efficiency, and poor precision inherent in manual machining have led industrial enterprises to increasingly utilize machines for more tasks. Secondly, while complex machines (such as CNC machine tools) can process products that meet requirements, their costs are high. To improve machining efficiency, enhance the accuracy of roughing and pre-drilling, and reduce finishing allowances, other fields, such as aerospace and special-purpose machine tool industries, are also gradually adopting specialized machinery to complete single-process operations, thereby improving processing efficiency, product quality, and automation levels.

[0004] Currently, the mainstream special-purpose machines for hole processing on the market are CNC drilling machines. These CNC drilling machines have high processing efficiency and precision and are widely used in many industries. However, most drilling machines cannot process high-hardness metal materials, and the few drilling machines that can process high-hardness materials have higher processing costs.

[0005] For example, there are two existing CNC drilling technology solutions. One is to use pneumatic technology combined with electric technology to drill holes in metal materials. The other is to use full servo drive to drill holes in metal materials. Drilling machines using pneumatic technology combined with electric technology can only drill relatively soft materials, while drilling machines using full servo drive can drill harder materials, but they are more expensive and have poor stability.

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0043] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0045] Example 1: A CNC drilling machine suitable for high-hardness materials, with the structure described below. Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes:

[0046] The body 3 provides support for the components on it; the main frame of the body 3 is made of 4×4 angle steel welded together.

[0047] The worktable 10 above the machine body 3 is made of high-strength aluminum, and with the addition of angle iron, the entire processing process is more stable and stronger, laying a solid foundation for processing;

[0048] DC motor 5 is mounted on slider 11; a PWM pulse width modulation DC power supply is used to provide smooth, stable and adjustable DC power to DC motor 5.

[0049] The drill bit 4 is connected to the output shaft of the DC motor 5 via the drill bit chuck 14. The rotation of the drill bit 4 is controlled by the dual closed-loop DC speed control system of the electrical control system, which can perform hole machining on materials of various hardnesses, especially high-hardness materials.

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the dual closed-loop DC speed control system includes: a GD32F103C8T6 controller, a power supply (PWM pulse width modulation DC power supply), a motor drive circuit, a DC motor 5 (controlling drill bit 4), a current acquisition circuit, and a Hall sensor (built into the DC motor). The PLC in the figure is... Figure 5 The host computer of the controller. The host PLC sends control request information to the controller via serial communication.

[0051] The motor drive circuit in the system is an H-bridge circuit. The H-bridge circuit receives PWM signals from the D32F103C8T6 controller to control the on / off state of the power MOSFETs in the circuit. Depending on the signal, it can control the DC motor 5 to start, stop, and rotate in both directions. The main circuit current is detected from the motor drive circuit and fed back to the controller, forming a current loop to achieve negative current feedback. The DC motor 5 has a built-in Hall sensor that detects the motor's speed, converting the speed signal into a voltage signal and feeding it back to the controller, forming a speed loop to achieve negative speed feedback.

[0052] The CNC drilling machine also includes: a three-jaw chuck 8, located on one side of the drill bit 4, used to fix the workpiece; a servo motor 1 (HF-KN43J-S100 model), which drives the three-jaw chuck to rotate via a synchronous belt 13; the servo motor 1 is connected to a reducer 2, and the two work together to control the rotation of the workpiece, thereby enabling the workpiece to rotate precisely to the set angle and improving control accuracy. A Hall sensor 9 (NP type) detects the origin position of the servo motor 1. When an object approaches the sensor's sensing surface to the action distance, the switch can be activated without mechanical contact or applying any pressure, thereby driving the servo motor 1 or providing control commands to the PLC.

[0053] A main lead screw 15 is mounted above the worktable, driving the slider 11 in linear motion. An auxiliary lead screw 12, parallel to the main lead screw 15, provides auxiliary support and guidance for the slider 11. The output shaft of the stepper motor 7 is connected to the main lead screw 15 via a coupling. The stepper motor is a 57BYG250B model, providing sufficient feed force, and a limit switch is added to limit the feed distance. The stepper motor 7 drives the main lead screw 15 to rotate, allowing the slider 11 on the main lead screw 15 to slide along the outer surface of the auxiliary lead screw 12. This prevents the slider 11 from tilting or deviating during movement, ensuring linear motion. The DC motor 5 on the slider 11 performs lateral movement, thereby controlling the drilling depth.

[0054] Limit switch 6 is installed at the extreme position of the slider 11's movement path. When the slider 11 moves to the end of its stroke, it directly contacts limit switch 6 to trigger a signal. Specifically, when the slider 11 reaches the set extreme position under the drive of the main screw 15, the slider 11 contacts limit switch 6, causing limit switch 6 to activate and send a signal back to the control system. The control system then controls the drive of the main screw 15 accordingly, such as stopping the drive or reversing it, to ensure that the movement range of the slider 11 is within the specified range and to avoid equipment failure or damage due to excessive movement of the slider 11.

[0055] The CNC drilling machine also includes an electrical control system, which includes a touch screen and a PLC, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 As shown, the DC motor, servo motor, and stepper motor are all connected to the electrical control system; the electrical control system is used to automatically control the various actions and movements of the components of the CNC punching machine.

[0056] The function of the PLC is to output a set of switching states based on the deviation level and in accordance with the fuzzy control concept. This set of switching states controls the combination of the resistor network of the pulse transmitter, thereby changing the pulse frequency. The PLC also has manual and automatic switching functions, and can operate in single / dual photocell and positive / negative polarity modes in automatic mode.

[0057] The touchscreen is an MCGS Kunlun Tongtai touchscreen, model TC7062KX. The touchscreen has three screens: main screen, automatic screen, and manual screen.

[0058] The touch screen and PLC communicate using RS485 serial port. RS485 transmission distance is less affected by external interference and has a high baud rate.

[0059] The working process of this CNC punching machine is as follows:

[0060] Upon initial power-up of the PLC, stepper motor 7 and servo motor 1 simultaneously return to the reference point. Manual mode is activated via the touchscreen. This mode allows calibration of the servo rotation position and the current stepper drilling position. Input the desired servo motor rotation angle (0-360 degrees for servo motor 1) via the touchscreen. Next, input the desired stepper drilling position and depth (1-6 cm for stepper motor drilling). Press the manual stepper button to move the stepper motor to a position close to the workpiece surface. Releasing the manual button will stop stepper motor 7, and the PLC will record the current position. Press the manual stepper button again to rotate the stepper motor to the desired surface position. Releasing the manual button will stop servo motor 1, and the touchscreen will display the corresponding drilling rotation angle. Then input the desired angle parameters, followed by the drilling depth. Press the parameter write button on the touchscreen to write the parameters into the PLC. Finally, press the zero button on the touchscreen. Once the system returns to its initial state, the automatic mode can be accessed. Press the start button, and servo motor 1 will rotate to the preset first angle, while stepper motor 7 will reach the vicinity of the preset workpiece surface position. The system will begin drilling at multiple angles according to the preset parameters. After the drilling is completed, the system will automatically return to the initial state and wait for the next round of parameter input before drilling can begin.

[0061] In another embodiment, the drill bit of the CNC drilling machine can be raised and lowered, either by a servo motor or by a mechanical mechanism.

[0062] This invention employs a PWM pulse width modulation power supply and utilizes a dual closed-loop control system for both speed and current to control the drill bit rotation, enabling drilling of a full range of materials, including high-hardness materials. A servo motor, in conjunction with a reducer, controls the rotation of the workpiece via a three-jaw chuck, while a stepper motor controls the depth feed of the drill bit. This achieves the precision of fully servo motor-controlled systems. Compared to full servo systems, this invention offers greater overload capacity when drilling high-hardness materials and features automatic adjustment of speed and current based on different hardness levels, significantly reducing equipment costs.

Individual components and functions are optional unless explicitly required, and the order of operation may vary. Parts and features of some embodiments may be included or substituted for parts and features of other embodiments.
